Description
MICHELIN Latitude Alpin LA2 – safety and mobility for 4x4 and SUV even in the harshest winters
Exceptional braking performance on wintry roads
Smooth and quiet ride in cold weather
Exceptional mileage
A new generation of Helio Compound 3G, a silica-based all-rubber material, allows the Latitude Alpin LA2 to remain flexible at low temperatures for better winter performance.
The 3-D Stabiligrip Technology™ with variable-geometry slats, rigid profile block reinforcement and additional strength for more precise and better handling. Michelin Comfort Control Technology™ ensures comfortable, quiet driving thanks to computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing. Vibration and driving noise are reduced and a long service life is guaranteed.
The MaxTouch Construction, combined with Michelin's lamella technology, provides an impressively long service life due to the exceptional stiffness of the tread block and optimises the tyre's contact with the road during acceleration, braking and cornering.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
